Keep cool with this Frigidaire FFPA0822R1 portable air conditioner, which features a 350 sq. ft. cooling capacity to keep your bedroom, living room or kitchen comfortable. Ready-Select controls and 3 fan speeds offer versatile cooling options.
Posted by: Hoku
After finding out most of the windows in the apartment I rented in April did not open and that the wooden frames were rotted and then the heat hit this week, the only option I felt would work was a portable air conditioner. Did a lot of research and found that a leading consumer magazine did not recommend portable AC units at all....but sometimes you have to go with what'll work.
Checking out availability for store pick-up asap, this model and others were flying out the door so did a quick buy online and store pick-up.
This unit really pumps out cool air, even on low. Noise is about what I expected, a bit loud, As with previous reviewers, the remote control must be used to work the fan speed and other features and mine only works intermittently. May be the batteries that came with unit are old, and I plan to change them out asap.
My window is 28 inches wide and the slider would have had to be cut, I assume with a saw which I do not have, so I removed it and used extra insulation for the inch and half that the panel left open.
The hose does pop out of the panel when the unit is moved and I had a
time trying to get the metal hooks that hold the screen at the outflow and the plastic hooks that hold the hose to the window panel.
I would recommend this unit. Beats a fan over a bowl of ice cubes!
